Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for use of EdTech Resources

Purpose of the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)

Technology is an essential part of learning in today’s world.

This Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) establishes guidelines on the appropriate use of EdTech resources to help you understand how to use these resources safely and responsibly, in line with efforts to develop your digital literacies and growth as digitally responsible citizens.

EdTech resources include the following, but are not limited to:

  • Learning devices (e.g. school devices)

  • ICT system accounts (e.g. Singapore Student Learning Space (SLS), iCON); and school internet networks.

For more information, please refer to:

General

  1. You should not attempt to access data, system and information that you are not authorised to.

  2. You are reminded that the use of learning devices and school’s EdTech resources should solely be for the purpose of learning.

Being a Responsible Digital Citizen

  1. You should interact with others in a respectful and responsible way. You should not post online remarks that are

  • racially and/or religiously insensitive,

  • vulgar and/or offensive, or

  • hurtful to others.

4. You should not use any devices to

  • store, modify, create or share content (e.g. documents, presentations, pictures and videos) that is inappropriate (e.g. indecent, pornographic, defamatory, hurtful to self or others).

  • make threats, cause harassment or embarrassment, impersonate or intimidate others.

  1. You should not use MOE/school-deployed ICT system accounts for any commercial activities (e.g. buying and selling of goods and services).

Non-compliance with the above will lead to disciplinary action in accordance with our school rules.

Respecting Copyright

  1. You are reminded to obtain explicit permission from the content owner(s) before downloading, copying or sharing any copyrighted materials (e.g. pictures, videos, music).

  2. You should not use, copy, edit or share digital files in an unauthorised or illegal manner.

Using Artificial Intelligence (AI)

  1. You must ensure that you meet the minimum age requirement specified in each AI tool's age restrictions before using it.

  2. If the use of AI is permitted, you should acknowledge the use of AI in your homework as required.

  3. You are to practice academic integrity and be responsible for your own learning when using AI. Understand that you are ultimately short-changing yourself if you pass off other’s work as your own.

Staying Safe and Secure online

  1. You should report any incidents (e.g. unusual device behaviour or inappropriate use of devices), to your Form Teacher.

  2. You are reminded to develop online safety habits. This includes not disclosing personal access credentials (e.g. MIMS password, etc.), sensitive personal data (e.g. home address, passwords) online or on AI platforms, verifying credibility of online content before sharing, avoiding clicking on suspicious links or downloading unknown files, and being cautious when interacting with others online (e.g. on social media) by not engaging with strangers.

  3. You should exercise caution regarding the limitations of AI tools, including potential inaccuracies / fabricated responses, inherent biases and outdated information.

Digital Wellbeing and Balance

  1. You are reminded to balance screentime with other activities including physical exercise and face-to-face social interactions.

  2. You should avoid excessive use of your devices outside learning hours.

  3. You should take regular breaks to rest your eyes and mind.

  4. You are reminded to practice good sleep hygiene by not using your devices one hour before bedtime.

Student Learning Space

HOW SINGAPORE STUDENT LEARNING SPACE SUPPORTS LEARNING

As part of Ministry of Education's (MOE) commitment to nurture future-ready learners, an online learning platform known as the Singapore Student Learning Space (SLS) is made available to the students.

The SLS is an online platform with tools and curriculum-aligned resources for all students to learn at their own pace and collaboratively. With the SLS, students can take greater ownership of their learning and pick up skills and habits that prepare them for lifelong learning. Teachers will also use the SLS to complement classroom teaching and learning.

ACCESS TO SLS

The SLS can be accessed from https://www.learning.moe.edu.sg/ (opens in new tab)
